They’re not there yet.
Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) and Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) are well on their way to see the Dutton clan in Montana, but the trip was delayed when their rickety tugboat (captained by Prison Break‘s Peter Stormare) collided with a gigantic ship. Fortunately, the couple was saved by a passing craft helmed by the appropriately named Capt.

Here, Schlaepfer explains how they shot those challenging water scenes after spending a blissful two days frolicking on a beach in Kenya. And are they ever going to get to Montana? She promises it’s coming …. soon.
DEADLINE Before we get into Alex and Spencer’s incredible journey, let’s back to when you were first cast.
JULIA SCHLAEPFER My parents loved Yellowstone and 1883. I have never seen either of them and they would pester me and my brothers to watch all the time. We were never going to watch it because we thought it was so funny how much they wanted us to watch it. Then I got the audition, read the script, and just fell in love with the story and character, of course. When I got a callback, Taylor Sheridan flew me out to Jackson Hole to screen test.

“1923” just wrapped up its first season on Paramount+ and it was a doozy.Not only did the feud between Harrison Ford’s Jacob Dutton and Timothy Dalton’s Donald Whitfield reach a boiling point (which is really something considering everything that’s already come before) but the seemingly never-ending journey of Brand Sklenar’s Spencer Dutton and Julia Schlaepfer’s Alexandra to return to the ranch hit a major setback when they run into Alexandra’s ex-fiancé and he challenges Spencer to a duel.TheWrap spoke to Sklenar about what it was like filming the finale, including a supernatural encounter with a ghost while on the Queen Mary, whether he knows where his character is headed (hopefully towards some scenes with Harrison Ford) and, of course, we get into the issue of John Dutton’s true lineage.

Then, in 2013, Soffer began his relationship with Dick Wolf.
